Multiplication in 2nd grade




We started learning about multiplication this week if second grade math.  We worked on arrays all week and then at the end of the week did an "I Spy" array activity. Students had to find the arrays around the school and write the array and correct multiplication sentence by the corresponding letter on their worksheet.


 The students like doing "I Spy" games and it's good practice for reviewing the concept that they've been learning.  When they walked into school in the morning and saw the pink cards hanging around they asked if they were the ones that were going to get to play the game.


 I made a "My Array" pamphlet. I folded a paper in thirds and there were 5 arrays in it that the students had to fill in.  I copied it off on pink paper and the students were all into it!  It made for something different than the normal-everyday worksheets that they do on a daily basis and it still reviews the concepts we are working on.
